From the MTD, to which the SIU is affiliated:
Maritime Trades Department Executive Secretary-Treasurer Mark Clements announced earlier this month that he would be vacating his position at the close of business on January 31, 2025 to pursue another opportunity. By a unanimous vote, the MTD Executive Board confirmed the appointment of MTD Administrator/Chief of Staff Brittanie Potter to fill the remainder of his term.
Sister Brittanie has been involved with the Department since 2011, when she came aboard as an office manager. She later served as an executive assistant to both late MTD President Michael Sacco and current President David Heindel before returning in the Chief of Staff role in 2023. Additionally, she is a card-carrying member of the Iron Workers union.
“Brittanie is a familiar face to many of our affiliates and will continue the work of previous Executive Secretary-Treasurers Dan Duncan and Mark Clements,” said President Heindel.
“I have no doubt she will lead the MTD capably and admirably,” added departing ES-T Clements.
Potter worked alongside Clements on a number of major initiatives during his tenure, including growing the Department’s budget surplus and building its network of Port Maritime Councils.
“I am excited to make even further progress on the groundwork that Brother Mark and I have laid out together,” said Potter. “I will ensure the Department is ready to face the challenges ahead.”
